Hunt for the Wilderpeople at Belmont Filmhouse, Aberdeen

One of the most funny and delightful films of recent years, Hunt For The Wilderpeople is a pleasure from beginning to end. Writer/director Taika Waititi (who made What We Do In The Shadows) has crafted an effortlessly funny odd-couple story about rap-loving troublesome teen Ricky (newcomer Julian Dennison) and gnarly gruff loner Hec (a wonderful Sam Neill) who end up being chased by police deep into the New Zealand bush. A compassionate, generous, engaging and often laugh-out-loud funny film, it is a real movie pleasure.
